Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #16264

A shimmering "Crystal" finish, reminiscent of broken glass or fine gold scales, covers the convex surface of this rare 1/4oz (7g) spoon. Measuring 1-1/2" (4cm) in length, this specimen features the authentic Seneca Lure stamp, marking it as a piece produced before the company's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. The hardware is comprised of a single split ring and a strong treble hook, both characteristic of the original USA-made construction. This lure, identified by product code 16264, shows in excellent condition (5/5), with the stamped text "LITTLE CLEO WIG-L-LURE" and "SENECA LURE" appearing sharply on the interior. The textured surface was specifically engineered to catch and refract light at various depths during a retrieve or while trolling. It stands as a well-preserved example of mid-century American tackle manufacturing.
